Periodic Table Battleship Game

Materials:

  • two different color dry erase markers or Vis-a-Vis markers

  • four laminated periodic table charts, (clear tape them together bottom to top to make the battleship boards for each player or use paper clips)

Objective: is a game for two players where you try to guess the location of five ships your opponent has hidden on a grid. Players take turns calling out a row and group (column name on periodic table), attempting to name an element containing enemy ships.

Procedure:

  1. Each player takes a marker and a periodic table board and props it open so that the other player can not see it.

  2. Using the marker, mark ships on the lower part of the board. Each player marks four ships either vertical or horizontal (no diagonal). Ship’s lengths are: 2 ship, 3 ship, 4 ship, and 5 ship. After each player has marked their ships’ placement, trade markers with the other person so no one is tempted to switch positions of ships.

  3. Select which player will go first by choosing the player with the birthday closest to the current date goes first or flip a coin.

  4. On your turn, call out a period number (row) and a group number (column). For a higher level, you can call out the group/family name such as noble gasses or alkali metals from the periodic table. Or students can call out the name of the elements. Your opponent checks that space on their lower periodic table, reads the name of the element square, and says "miss" if there are no ships there, or "hit" if you guessed a space that contained a ship.

  5. Mark your shots on your upper periodic table, with dots for misses and X for hits, to keep track of your guesses.

  6. When one of your ships is hit, put an X on that ship on your lower periodic table at the location of the hit. Whenever one of your ships has every slot X’d, you must announce to your opponent that he has sunk your ship.

  7. Victory: The first player to sink all opposing ships wins.

Clean Up: completely erase all marks on boards, cap markers and leave station neat.

Create a Chemistry Vocabulary Foldable
atom photo 2.jpg atom foldable.jpg photo-1-9.jpg picture from Mrs. Barton

Use the following Words: You must include a definition and have a colorful picture.

  • Atom: The smallest unit of an element, consisting of protons and neutrons in a nucleus surrounded by a number of electrons. In electrically neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
  • Proton: A subatomic particle that has a positive (+) electric charge and is part of the nucleus of an atom.
  • Neutron: An electrically neutral (no charge) subatomic particle that is part of the nucleus of an atom.
  • Electron: a subatomic particle with a negative (-) electric charge.
  • Element: A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substance by chemical means. All of the atoms are exactly the same.
  • Compound: A substance made of two (2) or more elements joined by chemical bonds in a definite ration. Example: H2O (water) always contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
  • Mixture: A composition of 2 or more substances that are NOT chemically combined with each other and are capable of being separated. Example: Salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and cheese.
